Never make the mistake that because one specific force covers your area that other services can't enforce the law in the same area. It can and does happen all the time because a cop in Halifax is a cop in Vancouver or Yellowknife. All PC's are sworn officers of the Crown,no matter where they happen to be.

Never said they can't enforce. I said they don't enforce.
And no he did not look scary.. should he have? Looked like a normal black guy leaving a gas station drinking his petro Canada coffee...
Okay.. the coffee part may be scary.

Do you really need an answer to that question? Or are you labouring under the misapprehension that the police in Toronto are walking around shopping, and just carry guns to protect themselves from random attacks?

A few weeks ago I saw cops doing exactly that... they were in Lebarons.. full uniform.. buying hunting supplies. They got really good service to... which is weird for Lebarons Markham.

Oh, well, yes, that's clearly why we arm our police then. For protection while shopping, just like the rest of us.

Why do they get these special rights? Gosh, I just can't figure it out.

I hate comments like this. Does nothing but feed stereotypes. Black man bad. Cops trigger happy and racist. Not saying incident didn't happen however your interpretation seems jaded. Reread your post and ponder what people would describe the person who wrote it. Would this be an accurate representation of you or just an aberration.

What makes their life more important than mine? Or yours? Or grand children's? Because they CHOOSE a job that puts then around criminals deems their life more more "valuable"? I'm not trying to put down police in any way. But my job requires me to go in some very bad area as well.. I've been in some if the worst tchc buildings in Toronto for my job.. I have been robbed twice an threatened nite times than I remember but yet, I'm not given the ability to protect myself....
Sounds right to me...

They are equipped with equipment to protect public safety. If what you say was true they would carry out of uniform too. If you feel your work place is hazardous you do have the right of refusal Cop doesn't. Next time you feel threatened send a 911 you do carry a cell don't you?
